"The Biggest Loser": More crazy twists coming in Week 8

Friday

Am I the only one who's been having trouble keeping up with all the twists and turns in this 10th season of "The Biggest Loser"? I know I killed a lot of brain cells over the years, but geez...

Luckily, I have the NBC press releases to prepare me for the madness to come.

Here are the highlights of the release for Week 8 (Tuesday, Nov. 9)...

* Two players will be eliminated.

* Trainer Bob Harper will be stationed LIVE in those two players' houses (in real time, the contestants are all home from the ranch now) and pop in at various points during the episode to give clues as to their identity. We won't learn who they are until the end of the show, when they're eliminated. (I guess that's a pretty innovative way to do the Transformation Moment.)

* The game will go from Blue vs. Black back to pairs.

* A "high-calorie dinner temptation" will determine who gets to pick the pairs.

* "At least one player" will feel betrayed by the choice of pairs.

* The challenge involves building towers out of sugar cubes. (I guess that's what Frado and Mark are doing in the picture.)

* And finally, "It's the most explosive weigh-in yet this season, with all the tension of the week erupting into heated exchanges among the contestants and the trainers."

Most explosive weigh-in yet, huh? Considering the drama we've already seen play out on the scale this season, that's really saying something.

See you all Tuesday night, when hopefully you can help me keep up with these shenanigans.
